One of Odd Future’s obvious influences is skate culture, as the group often includes it in their music videos and has posted videos of its members skating. Tyler, The Creator was even arrested last year for apparently skating past a police officer.
So when Tony Hawk interviewed Tyler at Australia’s The Big Day Out tour, it’s no surprise that the young artist had plenty to say.
“I did music and then I got into skateboarding because my friends did it,” explained Tyler. “This was around ‘Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4’ around 2002. As corny as that sounds, that’s my shit. All my friends skated.”
Hawk also asked Tyler whether he asked fans to send him skate videos. “They don’t even ask! They just do it, and I be stoked as fuck! …That’s all I grew up around.”

Tyler should have asked Tony why the last two Tony Hawk games sucked major dick.
THPS cant compete with ea skate, they had a good run though!
skate 3 = greatest skate game evr
Well they can compete now because the Skate series is cancelled so Tony Hawk games are all we have.

Fuck Odd Future for being SATANIC as Fuck… they named a store 666??? WTF… we are def in the end times with shit like this! Fuck Tony Hawk too!!
666 is funny
satan is not real
they are mocking people like you
He’s exactly right. They’re not satanic, they’re atheists. They just say that shit to piss off ignorant close minded religious folks.
Like Eazy-E said “we like to piss you off, that’s why we say bitch bitch bitch bitch and nigga nigga nigga nigaa and FUCK YOU if you don’t like it.”
666
God is Dead.
